Never to early to think about Indy and AHFS

Looks like they changed the .95 under mineshaft back to .85

According a post a couple a weeks ago it was said that the only time a .950 mineshaft rule would come in effect was maybe at Indy.
That show how silly everything with this whole thing is.
Indy that time of year probably has the worst D.A on the curcuit(uncorrected tracks) so what are all doing the rest of the year?
Racers just dont want the A.H.F.S work is my conclusion.

Race Dirty There are several combo's that can go fast enough to get hit with HP. But when you're already not the fastest in the class a wise man would protect their HP rating not to fall even more behind the class big dog. Make sense to you. BP

So how is the system helping you to get closer?

It's not I didn't say it was. At this point it has as much a chance to hurt me as it does to help. At Cecil County last year, I had a first-round heads up. Round one sheet came out late at night and online. Looked at it to see who I had. No heads up. In the morning they called Juniors up and we were next. My friend went and picked up a sheet, but we thought we already knew who we were going to run. He came back and said the ladder changed and we had a heads up first round. Didn't have time to tune all the way. Not sure how much my opponent was able to. If I ran it out I would have been close to 1.20 under. My opponent has the same combo as I do. Could have hurt the combo bad on that one run. BP

My fault on the ladder change. I didn’t make it there until Saturday morning. I think I was the only car to show up on Saturday.

Race clean “How will that help”?

At the Charlotte rave a few years ago on Sunday it was Heads up race between a 396 Camaro and a LT1 Firebird and both went 1.20 under and got power. Both cars are still great cars just not killer cars.

Ruin Indy even more? Take away 330/660 ? Really? Why not take away the score boards and the et slip at Indy if you don’t want anyone including the Association to know how fast you are.

Hope that was a joke…..

In 2019 at Indy there were 43 combos in stock. Not sure how to go back to the archives to see how many combos there were in the 70's and 80's. I would have to guess nowhere near that many. BP

I ran 1981 Indy where there were about 180 drivers battling it out for 96 qualifying spots. All class winners got in no matter if they ran the index or not. Out of the 55 or so classes available then (front wheel drive). I bet of the 96 qualifying spots. At least 45 were class winners Bring on AHFS in that atmosphere.
